As I'm reviewing some hands here, I feel like I'm overplaying hands. Maybe it just feels like that because my hands are missing these days? Hard to tell.. Any advice is appreciated. 4 quick hands:
Hand coverter is fubar'd again, so excuse my typo's..
Villian in hand #1 seemed loose and passive. Kind of guy who might limp with Axo, and call all the way down whether he hit a pair or not. I check the river thinking he isn't folding a hand that beats Did I overplay the flop? I think the turn bet is fine with my overcards + flush draw. Who fires a last shot on the river?

Obviously the board probably hit someone on a straight draw, but I did flop top pair, so I bet out. Undercards on the turn and river made me want to bet out again. I fold probably anywhere to a raise. Any play it differently?

Hero raises. 2 folds. MP2 calls. 3 folds. BB calls.

Turn: (4.25 BBs) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero bets, MP2 raises, Hero folds.
I know the raise UTG is debatable. Do I have any business betting that flop or turn ? Bet the flop, check-fold that turn ? Fold pre-flop? /images/graemlins/smile.gif Villian was passive, and I took his raise to mean I was very much beat.
HAND 4 :: Party Poker $2-$4 (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is SB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif
5 folds. CO raises. Button calls. Hero 3-bets. BB calls. CO calls. Button calls.

Hero checks, BB checks, CO bets, BB folds, Hero calls.
Final Pot: (17 BBs)
I know it seems a horrible turn call, but this table was very loose and aggressive, CO in particular. I did not necessarily take his turn raise to mean I was beat, but maybe I should have. Facing 2 bets, with BB to act after me, maybe it's an insta-fold ? And by the river the pot is just too big to fold for 1 bet back to me and I'm closing the action.. So I guess the real question is the turn.
